Smenkhkare: The enigmatic Pharaoh of Akhet-Aton

This book presents the latest research findings and materials on the enigmatic figure of the late Amarna Smenkhkare. It is still disputed today whether Smenkhkare was a young man at Akhenaten‘s side or Queen Nefertiti, who succeeded her husband with this fictitious identity as a male pharaoh. The identification of the mummy from tomb KV 55 is a crucial piece of the puzzle of this Egyptological enigma. In 2015, a new theory was put forward by C. N. Reeves, according to which Nefertiti alias Smenkhkare is to be found in undiscovered chambers in Tutankhamun‘s tomb.#Smenkhkare #Nefertiti #Tutankhamun #KV55
